Red Line 10w60 on sale merged thread

[jdgretz]

I came across this link today from a Facebook post and thought I should share it here.

Red Line 10w60 6-Pack for $21.31 - yep, that's $3.55 per quart.  I ordered three 6-packs for less than half of what I normally pay from Racer Parts Wholesale (roughly $13/qt).  Couldn't pass up that deal.

When the link was posted, it was $10/6-pack, but has since gone up to the $21.31 price as of 6pm PDT.

Time to stock up.

Does anyone know if it is the equivalent of this?

ENI i-RIDE PG RACING 10W-60

Same viscosity and SAE rating, but wondering about additives.  I'm looking for alternatives.  Thanks for your help.

I just ordered 2 at $17.05 for 6 quarts.

[dxhall]

This seems too good to be true.  I took a chance anyway and ordered two six-packs.  I'd like to hear if anyone receives their orders.

To answer your question directly, it's NOT equivalent.  Although I know that some folks don't know or care about API service classes, I do care, since they reflect the amount of anti-wear additives.  The latest Redline 10W-60 is specified to be API service class SN/SM/SL/CF, whereas the eni i-RIDE oil is service class SG, a class with a higher amount of tappet wear reducing ZDDP.  More recent (higher letters) service classes have reduced ZDDP at the behest of auto makers who are concerned about the effect of ZDDP on the longevity of catalytic converters.  Take your pick, longer lasting tappets or longer lasting catalytic converters.

I ordered 2 at $17.05.
Sounds legitimate to me

Yep.

Thanks for the heads up, Man. Thats an awesome price! I just ordered 2 six packs at $17.05 each incl. shipping , comes out to $2.85 / qt.  Cheaper than  the rotella I usually use. I think this oil will be great in my hydro engined Cali, I think I will try to order a couple more , my son just told me to get some for his KTM.

I hope it's legit,  I ordered 2 @17.05
And who doesn't love a good oil thread!!

Uh... now says the price is $77.70. <shrug>

[Lesman]

The ship has sailed. It's $77.00

Dang, I just ordered it for $17.05 about 15 minutes ago. But I noticed its a different seller that comes up on the link when you click on it.....Hmmm, I am not too savvy on how Amazon works.
Rick.

[bigbikerrick]

I think I have this figgured out..... The seller that had it for $17.05 a case of six incl. shipping must have made a mistake. $17.05 is their price for ONE qt. of the 10-60, not for 6 qts. Will they honor the "typo" time will tell. The name of the seller is "Award Products" I got an email confirmation from Amazon for two separate orders of 12 quarts each for $34.10 shipped for a product that should cost $102.30? I doubt if they will fill the order at that price, but what do you, all think?

Rick, you need 5W 40 in your hydro engine.

[LaGrasta]

i orders 5 cases at $17 each. We'll see if it shows up.

Thank you very much for helping me understand the difference.

That formula change is an important detail.  I hate it when they change a product's property sheet while keeping the same name.  When things like oil and paint are concerned, a change in formula should require a name change.   

The good news is that I'd started kicking myself for not opening this topic sooner.  But now that I know the stuff is NOT SG RATED I wouldn't use it anyway, so I feel better.  Chances were I'd have joined the feeding frenzy on the assumption that it was the same old (SG rated) stuff.

<sigh> I agree. Redline used to be SG rated. All of it. The new 10-60 isn't.

[drlapo]

With extra zddp per red line

[twowings]

Is this a potential warranty violation?

[bigbikerrick]

Rick, you need 5W 40 in your hydro engine.

Hi Cam,thanks, my friend. Yes , I know thats what Guzzi specified, but I have run 20-50, 15-40,and also 10-60 to me it makes no difference in how the hydro motor runs or sounds. Its just buttery smooth, and eerily quiet, without any discernable valve noise.  I have been running the mobil 1 V twin lately,before that I used Amsoil 20-50 "harley oil" and its been great also. I wonder if the 5w 40 was specified when Guzzi was trying different "solutions"still trying to figgure out what made some of these engines fail, and then they just stayed with that recommendation?

Product Description
  Red Line Oil #11704 Motor Oil, 10W60, Synthetic, 1 qt., Pack of 6.  R31-11704-6PK   Description: Red Line Motor Oils are designed to provide the highest degree of protection and cleanliness for your automotive, motorcycle, or marine engine. Red Line uses the most stable synthetic components available and formulate their products for wear protection across a wide range of engine operating conditions. Red Line lubricants are unique because they contain PE Polyol Ester base stocks, the only lubricants which can withstand the tremendous heat of modern jet engines. This high-temperature stability makes Red Line Motor Oil a necessity to properly lubricate a turbocharger or hot-running engine. The synthetic base stocks have a natural multigrade property, which means that large amounts of unstable polymeric thickeners, like those used in standard petroleum oils, are not required to manufacturer Red Line multigrades.Feature s:*Popular for newer BMW M-cars applications like E46 M3 and E60 M5*Recommended for API SM/SL/SJ/SH/SG/CF and ACEA A3/B4

Usually they start off with the SG and work their way up. Saw some stuff advertised in a flyer a couple of days ago like that, went up from SG to SN; sadly it was completely the wrong viscosity.

Uh, is it me- or is this all a conspiracy to open another oil thread?  We must be ever vigilant.
